new podium boy - Karlo Gordon Hood

Arrived on Saturday night at 9:08pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 4oz. andmeasured 19 1/4" long. He is healthy and doing well. Labor lasted23 hours and was the hardest workout of my life. Had I not workedout the entire pregnancy he definitely would have arrived via c-section. We faced quite a few challenges during labor, but hehandled the stress beautifully. We are all now resting and gettingto know each other, which is quite wonderful. Chuck is having thetime of his life and is a very proud dad. He's especially proud ofthe fact that he was able to stay upright and watch the delivery and(a major shock to me) he even cut the umbilical cord.
